Taylor Swift's Speak Now was released just one year ago, but, from the sound of things, work on the follow-up is already well under way.

Last week, [article id="1672695"]Swift told MTV News[/article] that she's "been writing so much for the new record," adding that she's "already excited about it," even though the album won't see the light of day until 2012. And, in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she revealed even more about the new disc and the songs she's already penned.

"I've written 25 songs so far, so it's coming along really well," Swift said in the interview. "I've been writing a lot, and I like to take two years to make a record. We're at the end of year one, and I still have a year left to go write.

"It's looking really great," she added.

Whenever the new album is released, it'll have some lofty company to keep: Swift's [article id="1651391"]Speak Now opened at #1[/article] on the Billboard albums chart, breaking the 1 million mark in first-week sales. And her previous effort, 2008's Fearless, also bowed at #1 and has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide.

Of course, writing songs isn't the only project on Swift's plate at the moment. She just launched her first-ever fragrance, [article id="1672531"]Wonderstruck[/article], which, as she explained to us, she hopes will "help play a role in creating some ... memories." She also continues to chug along on her [article id="1667555"]Speak Now Tour[/article], which crisscrosses the continent before coming to a close at the end of November with a pair of sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden.
